Equatorial Guinea's higher education system is centralized, with the National University of Equatorial Guinea (UNGE) being the primary institution. UNGE offers programs across various disciplines, focusing on sciences, humanities, and engineering. The system is supported by limited private institutions and research centers. Key institutions include the Centro de Investigaciones Científicas y Tecnológicas (CICTE), which drives research in health and agriculture. Academic job opportunities are scarce but growing, particularly in fields aligned with national development goals like oil and gas.
